The Marten House is a Plantation style home on Moloaa Bay with great views of this area of the North Shore of Kauai. The incredible 180 degree view of the ocean from this secluded retreat is yours to be had. This was one of the first homes ever built in the Moloaa Bay area, and it was commonly referred to as the Captains House. This property looks out over the bay from a totally private perch above the beach. Neighbors are few and do not have any views of this home or yard from their properties. Very secluded. About the only sounds you will hear are from the ocean, and the birds.
The property is truly a great place to spend a family vacation or have a weekend getaway with someone special, away from the hustle and bustle of life and yet be close enough to enjoy the many amenities the island of Kauai has to offer. From shopping at Costco or the quaint towns of Kapaa and Hanalei, (short 20 minute drive) to zip lining across canyons and valleys to golfing at some of the nicest and uncrowded golf courses you can have it all. Please call to discuss and we can assist you and answer your questions and make this a vacation to remember.
If you enjoy getting away but still have the comforts of life we offer digital cable TV, high speed internet, service with Wifi, and local phone, in this secluded oceanfront setting. The kitchen is well equipped with all that is needed to enjoy your time here, and you can BBQ outdoors with a propane gas grill. The rental calendar has been recently updated 12/20/2011 and is available to view. Please feel free to contact us with inquires, so we can assist you further, or if you have a special request. We offer concierge type service and can arrange catering, parties, reunions, and weddings if you desire for additional fees. The owner has just recently completed some new upgrades to the home, a new ceiling in front room with new remote operated ceiling fans, lighting, painting, new curtains, rods, bedding and a new King size matress for the master bedroom as well as a new sofa in the living room Also we anticipate making some more upgrades that will be starting in January 2012 which will be completed in time for the Winter-Spring season. We are going to install some new flooring in bedrooms, upgrade some additional bedding in the home and other upgrades that will be most enjoyable. Of particular interest is the fire-pit in yard that is overlooking the beach. Imagine your evenings with a small warm fire while overlooking the ocean below or enjoying the dark star filled sky.
Moloaa Bay has one of the most uncrowded sand beaches in all of Hawaii. It is quiet, and not visited by many because of its location a few miles from the main highway. Thus it is a preferred destination for frequent visitors, and many returning guests to Kauai. The Marten House property is situated by itself at a higher elevation than the homes in the community below and surrounding the bay. The experience of real privacy and gorgeous views is unmatched.
December through April is the season for whale watching, and you can enjoy seeing them from time to time right from the yard fronting the home. On any given day you may see Green Sea Turtles, Hawaiian Monk Seals, or Pacific Spinner Dolphins, frolicking in the ocean or on the coral reef below, just 50 feet or so away. Also snorkeling, fishing, surfing, and body boarding await the adventurous and active traveler at one of the best natural locations in Hawaii. This spectacular beach is just a few steps from the home. Beach combing and exploring are some of the fun and favored activities for families, visitors, and returning guests of all ages.
The home has a uniqueness to it that is unmatched in other private estates. The phrase "Location, Location, Location" always comes to mind when thinking about the sights you will find here. It is rare to find a home like this with so much to offer. We have had some guests return here year after year to enjoy the beauty of this locale and stay at the Marten House. We look forward to helping you have a great time here

disappointed in Kaui

Review Submitted: 09/14/11
Our family was very disappointed - the view was fantastic - it was unfortunate that the house did not live up to our expectations. One room that was suppose to be a bed room was a screened in porch with a bed in it, no window - just screens, the house was not clean, doors/locks didn't work, too many issues to list. We actually only stayed one night and only because we arrived so late. keep looking
Owner response:We are under new management, begining September 26, 2011. All issues, reviews, or stays prior to this date happened with old management and is one reason for changing management. As owner I have taken numerous steps to upgrade and maintain the property since May 2011. Installed new caretakers, and made many immprovements. We understand we cannot please every client, but we will try our very best to address any concern a renter has about their stay and want everyone to know that we respect the opinions and views of others. We want people to enjoy the time they stay here at this location and are sorry if they can't appreciate the natural beauty and style of our home as described. We have had pictures posted on this site for many years and will continue to post new ones as more improvements are made. All Ext. door locks now work a have been replaced with new. New bedding and and curtains have begun to be installed, as well new lighting and remote operated ceiling fans, and furniture. We anticipate investing much more to improve and upgrade the visitors experience here. The screened in porch is classified as a bedroom by our local county government and as long as we make a bed available for the 7th or 8th persons to stay in that area of the house, it will continue to be classed as 4 bedrooms we can't change their rules. We have tried to describe it better for future guests. The nice things about that room is that it can be closed off from rest of the house and has it's own bathroom. Also when the temperature is hot, it is the coolest room to be in having great cross ventilation. We do have plans for the future to put regular windows into this area. If you keep looking as suggesed by client you will miss the real Kauai that you can find at the Marten House.

If you are into beautiful views, whale watching, snorkeling, and walking the beach to see munk seals, this place is for you. It may not be the fanciest place I've ever stayed at but after the first day of looking out over the ocean and seeing whales breach, I was hooked! What a great place to hang out with friends for a week. The view and the privacy is something you don't find very often in Hawaii at this price.
Owner response:Mahalo for your kind review. We are always working on the house to improve it because of it's age but it is the most spectacular view and most private location on Kauai. The real Kauai. Thanks again
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing.
